Hello, all! I haven't had much life experience compared to some people, but I can give you my view of things, and I'll do my best to give an honest opinion. Ask me anything and I'll answer as best I can!

Myself, I'm a Nursing Assistant finishing up some classes before I start working. My interests include cooking, martial arts, music, video games, gardening, acting, reading, and paintball. My girlfriend is slowly pulling me into politics, but she's drawing me in none the less. =P I love her so much!

the other day, i was walking around in the woods and must have touched some type of plant that had a bunch of sharp balck things on it.the sharp black things got stuck in my fingers.i got all but about 2 out.these 2 are really deep in my finger.there kind of like bee stings.what can i do to get them out?is there some sort of cream i can put on it to make them come out?

thanks! (link)
Are they just under the skin? If it's under the first layer you can disinfect the area with hydrogen peroxide and using a clean pin or sharp pair of tweezers you can gently cut through the top layer and get it out. If you don't want to do that, or if it's deeper, you can just wait it out and your body will push the thorns to the surface of the skin.

Be careful that it doesn't get infected, though... If it starts to get red, swollen, form puss, or really start to hurt, go see a doctor. Infections are NOT fun to deal with.

Good luck!
